Anyone Know Where To Get The 4 Big Can Caps?

What is Wrong With HD Radio & Why Aren't HD Tuners Being Made?
Not sure if this is the same thing but Sony made a "Digital Radio" tuner box  ( http://wd4eui.com/Sony_XDR_F1HD.html) in the early-to-mid 2000s. Didn't build them very long (few years). Weren't expensive, less than $200 as I recall. My 14 y/o Onk...

Anyone have Warfedale Linton 85th anniversary?
At AXPONA, one of the rooms had speakers, similar to the Lintons, in a "stacked" configuration (one on top of the other, four speakers total). This was popular in the old days with Advent speakers. It sounded pretty good.

Weird
Just did some work on my Forte 4s. After removing the bi-wire binding post assembly, I discovered that one bass hook-up pair was wired out-of-phase at the factory. Hadn't noticed possible because my subwoofer (single) located directly behind this ...

Evaluation is a natural part of the process. Once you have found "your sound", the craving goes away. That's when you start building your second system (LOL)!  
worth the jump to Cornwall IV's from Forte IV's?
Please see my info post in "New Klipsch Forte IV" (almost the last post). It explains a serious design flaw in the Forte 4. After fix, it sounds like a different speaker (and quite wonderful). As for bass, I put my subwoofer directly in back of t...

My MC 2205 Amplifier is smoking???
Sounds like dried-out capacitors. I heard that you should use someting called a 'variac' (voltage regulator) that lets you start with zero voltage and slowly increase to normal. You gave it 100% all-at-once which obviously had bad results. Capacit... 
ATC SCM 40 question
What kind of speaker wire are you using? Do you have them firing straight ahead? Try changing Toe-in, etc.. And yes, room treatment.

Good way to train Jr Techs before moving them to the "Big League".  
Stoked their are sound buffs like myself...
My 2 cents but contact McIntosh about rebuilding the speakers. This would be feasible if you are close to them (shipping would cost a lot). Great way to honor your Father. Good luck! P.S. If plan A doesn't work, you are fortunate to be in the new... 
New Klipsch Forte IV
I’d like to share my recent experience. The binding posts on my Klipsch Forte 4 are always coming loose. As I was planning to replace the cheesy pound-in metal caps (like you find on a chair leg) with spikes, I decided to open the binding post pan... 
DSD and aliasing?
Isn't "adding noise" what dither is/was? Adding dither, to a digital recording, somehow made things better.
